Their words
Yes. Some people will be priced out of producing software. Just like only some people could afford a personal computer in the 80s and 90s, for the next few years, if you can’t get enough tokens, you’re playing second league.

We were surprised yesterday to learn that Kate was being asked to fill her vagina with ultrasound gel. The MRI was to characterize her endometriosis. A disease where endometrial tissue develops outside the uterus and grows. It's a gnarly and painful disease with serious health complications. It affects 1 in 10 women and currently takes on average 6.6 years to diagnose. We hustled and diagnosed Kate's endometriosis in 42 days via four speciality different tests (blood, MRI, salvia, transvaginal ultrasound). The fastest and most comprehensive ever, I think. We are doing this MRI because we have… Quoting @_katetolo I had to fill my vagina with ultrasound gel yesterday for an MRI... I had no idea this was a protocol for measuring endometriosis! how cool It's a technique called vaginal opacification... the vagina is normally a collapsed space, and on an MRI, collapsed walls are hard to tell apart from the tissu… Related

want to hear an interesting strategy story between meta and apple? 10 years ago i was at meta, and worked on a lot of product features that had to ship to iOS, and they all had to go through a painful apple review where anything could get cut apple back then developed a clear strategy where they used “privacy” as the angle to gain user trust and win against competition a clear example was the “ask app not to track” dialog which controls ads targeting - they made every 3p app go through that scary dialog which heavily implies to the user that they should obviously click “do not track” you migh… Related

Almost every technology boom creates a bubble, then a bust, whether it’s railroads, the Industrial Revolution, or the late 1920s. Think about the late '20s: electricity, refrigeration, telephones, radios, airplanes, and cars were all emerging at once. Naturally, people wanted to invest in these miracles. The danger is that people fail to distinguish the miracle from the investment. A technology can be truly transformative, but if the stocks are priced too high or bought on debt, you get a crash. That is the mechanics behind how bubbles form and burst. New technology will be great, there is no… energy Related

Hallelujah!! Cuban’s Ro argument was painful legitimizing of a corrupt socialist policy. Govt seizure isnt ever ok. Quoting @theobjectivist This so-called defense of the founders by Cuban is worse than Ro Khanna's direct assault, because it is the assault's enabler, as their exchange below illustrates.

Claude Haiku is my current least favorite model - it hallucinates wildly, and is out-performed now by other similarly priced models like GPT-5.6-Luna
Even worse: it seems to still be used by the Claude Code WebFetch tool, which means hallucination risk any time you fetch a URL!

Game designer and programmer, co-founder of id Software and co-creator of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D. Now runs Romero Games in Galway, Ireland.
I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people. A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preser… Related

because it's not competing against humans for most of those roles, it would be competing against the other labs, right? And so you'd actually see like the cost pushed down to, you know, a mult a small multiple of whatever the marginal production cost of those tokens is.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
